OOC PREFERENCES:
•CONTACT METHOD: Your preferred method of contact.
•THREAD-JACKING: Would you prefer that people avoided tagging other people on your journal or do you welcome it?
•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: Is it okay for another character to recognize yours as fictional? Is it okay for yours to be recognized as an actor? Is it okay for your character be informed of future events by canonmates that come from later canon points?
•BACKTAGGING: Are you okay with late tags?
•AVOIDED TOPICS: If there is any type of plot you would rather not have your characters involved in because it makes you uncomfortable or you don't enjoy the subject matter, bring it up here.
•PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUN: (Optional)
IC CHARACTERISTICS:
•CURRENT CANON POINT: In a death-AU as he is an inmate. Postcanon.
•PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Ricki is a tallish, broadshoaldered man with a faintly 1970's haircut and a penchant for clothing of the same fashion. He's a spy, so he smells like nothing but soap and if he can get his hands on them, cigarettes. Light brown hair and nondescript eyes, a tan you don't pick up in England and the kind of callouses an observant man could like to the regular use of a weapon.
•DEMEANOR: Ricki is friendly enough, if sometimes a tiny bit reserved. He lies so often and so fluently that I would sincerely prefer if other people's characters didn't realize it all the time unless they have an incredibly good reason to (ie vampirism, psychic powers, or if they are Cal Lightman or something.) For characters who are more normally powered, a sense of the untrustworthy or the overly glib is great, but please keep in mind that he has made his way through the cold war lying to incredibly capable spies, so is typically able to get away with it.
•ABILITIES: Having been trained as Circus muscle, Ricki is as capable as a human fighter can get, but is entirely human and reality-based so has no cartwheel/backflip/ninja moves.
•MEDICAL INFORMATION: Many, many scars.
•CABIN INFORMATION: Ricki's cabin is man-on-the-run sparse, littered with the books he's reading and many markers that will tell him if anyone has broken in.
•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Moral absolutism in general will make him privately roll his eyes.

Mystique's been impersonating people for well over a century and is an expert at body language and reading people so she usually knows when someone's lying to her. (It helps that she can enlarge her tympanic membrane to actually hear someone's heart beat a little faster during a lie.) Would you be happy with her unerringly being able to tell? Perhaps we could have a thing going where he's continually trying to slip one past her until the day he succeeds?
no subject
Would you be up for her not noticing the original, reflexive white lies ('I was a smuggler') and then catching on to the more slippery, shifting truth as he's forced to invent less well worn details?
no subject
The other thing I wanted to ask was about history, I'm borrowing some canon from the comics for Mystique's backstory (although she won't be drawn much on it), but one thing I figure she might mention as having done was infiltrated British intelligence during the Cold War as it's mentioned that she worked on all sides undetected. Would you be happy for this British intelligence to be the Tinker Tailor intelligence service or would you prefer not?
no subject
Re; the intelligence, hm hm, well the TTSS is a fictionalized retelling of the Kim Philby story, written by an actual spy whose name was given up by Philby when he was still a mole. So in terms of recognition, I'd say it probably makes the most sense for Mystique to know that saga, and to be able to recognize logistics and protocols and generalities when Ricki talks about them, but to stop short of knowing of Bill Haydon or the other TTSS characters?
